Associate JustUe:.#?0ihr.iiriwrote
the opinion and th&'ientiro court con
curred, the new trial be|ng granted
on the grounds that Gossett was niii
iglven a f;f ir trial by the special
court. Justice Cotbran severely crit
icises the statute under which spe
cial courts are called, and cites' la
. number of incidents to show that an
accused has no showing under the
present policy of special courts.
The court also severely criticises
the spirit of mobs, and says that
where trials are held under condi
tions similar to those obtaining at
the Gossett case, it is a "judicial
lynching." The Abbeville court was
called to try the Gossetts alone.
The opinion affects a number of
other special courts held recently,
and virtually says that these courts
could not give a defendant a fair
trial. Several trials by special courts,
it is recalled, have resulted In elec
trocutions, and "'Ping" Griffin ls now
' in the penitentiary under death sen
tence by a verdict of a jury called
together especially to try him, and
the circumstances aro a good deal
similar to tito Gossett case. No ap
peal has been taken In the Griffin
case, and "Feetio" 'Fogle has already
been electrocuted by a special court
verdict.
Speaks of Mob Violence.
Speaking of mob violence and the
effect on tho public mind in trials
like G?sset t's. and the section under
which the court was called. Justice
Cothrnn says: "We aro convinced
that the proceduro provided for in
this section is a bald concession to
the spirit of mob law, and presents
tho spectacle of the law, strong and
mighty, bowing to tho despotism of,
the mob, which bas boon declared lo
be greater than the1 tyranny of :i
despot, lt provides a miserable com
promise with lynch law, enabling the
* law io bargain with tile mob to stay
Its hand and allow the court, under
the form of law, to accomplish what
is equally reprehensible-a judicial
lynching.
"It is notorious that such bargain
ings have boen made. The angry
mob has been appeased by tho prom
ise of a quick special court to try
the oifender undor circumstances that
render his conviction Inevitable.
"Thor? can be no compromise with
the Spirit of lynching for any crime.
Those who compose such a mob aro
themselves without, the pale of law
and commit a crime not only against
the victim of their vengeance, but
against tho majesty of ?he law. They
aro not entitled to recognition as

pective visit. 1 wanted to tell you
bow delighted I am that d am going.
